McCullum is crazy good atm. Forget Australia/South Africa, New Zealand taking on the Aussies is the series I want to see right now.

Imagine batting for nearly 2 days. BMac must be f*cked. 20 runs shy of the highest score by a kiwi ever and subsequently the first kiwi to score 300.

Surprisingly 'mature' innings from him too. If the old McCullum had batted two straight days, he'd be knocking on Brian Lara's record :lol:. Hope he gets the 300, full deserved.

Pretty insane game between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka last night, Sri Lanka recovered from 67/8 to post 180 and Bangladesh went from 114/2 to 167 all out in the chase :lol:

2/11. Here we fucking go!

Uhhh, Clarkey, the slips cordon goes behind the batsmen, right next to Haddin :lol:

Boring pitch makes for boring game...

I can see this being a draw unless we crumble in the first innings.

Not wrong.

Top order fails....again

V England 1st Innings in Brisbane - 5/100 , 1st Innings in Perth 5/143, 1st Innings in Melbourne 5/112, 1st Innings in Sydney 5/97. 1st Innings at port Elizabeth 4/112 and this innings here. Can't keep doing that & hoping teams let us off the hook.

Up to Warner now ( can't believe I'm saying this) and hopefully Lyon can hang around for a while. Morkel gave him a nice battering last night & after bowling what felt like a gazzilion overs still survived.

Fuck I love Dale Steyn.

Go to bed 1/135 feelsgoodman.jpg

Wake up bowled out.

Wtf.

Saw highlights yesterday of Mitch Johnson copping one on the helmet.

Best image of the summer :lol:

Gogo Australia

:lol:

Australia gets found out when Johnson isn't trying to take every batsmans head off :lol:

Pretty much if the pitch offers nothing, neither does Australia :lol:

Well this is the first Test we've lost in quite a while, can we just put it down to a bad performance by us and a good one by the South Africans?

Had our batsmen got the runs they were meant to get it would've petered out into a draw.

Well this, Mitch relies on sheer speed and terror, if the pitch isn't bouncing and its slowing balls down by 10kph on average then yeah he isn't going to be as potent.

Be interesting to see what the CT pitch is like, can see it being quite green after what the second test produced.

All I can say is

Thank god that winning streak's over

Now we can all get on with our lives

6 Months ago really isn't that long :lol:

<3

Steyn is so damn good to watch when the is bowling. Mitch Johnson is nothing compared to him. Without the pitch assisting Mitch, he can't do much. Steyn some how seems to find that extra bit and create things.

I think South Africa found out quickly that if you take out Mitch from going for your heads and just trying to scare you, then he gets lost a bit.

Steyn is everything Shane Bond could of been.

No, it actually is.

One loss and the world is ending. Still one win away from doing them on their turf

Some of the shots in this video =p~

Don't think there's been a batsman since to make batting look so good. Maybe Martyn, but Mark Waugh was just something else.

Could watch him bat all day. Any ball that pitched on the stumps you knew he was going whip through the leg side like it was nothing

He was pure silk - like poetry in motion. And no one could catch/field like he could! My all time favourite

So after all the shit the Aussie team copped they finish day 1 in almost an unloseable position. One of the best innings of Clarke's career. Hopefully the bowlers can do their job and we can get the win

Farken hell, how many people have retired since playing Australia this summer? :lol:

So this just happened in the ODI between Pakistan and Bangladesh. :lol:

:lol: Sounds like that trick in Cricket 07 where you could get the spinners to bowl rain-makers that landed square on the batsmen's head.
